In a satirical essay, "The Pebble Exchange Commission: A Bureaucratic Love Story" by C.P. Stiltskin. When, prehistoric world where shiny pebbles are currency and banana trades require government forms, Treasury Secretary Bonk-7742 and overzealous regulator Snarf-5529 struggle to control the chaotic birth of economics. As cavemen invent bureaucracy faster than understanding, a black market blooms and a mysterious “invisible hand” defies regulation. Despite desperate attempts to legislate berries, ban desire, and oversee sneezing, humanity’s natural urge to trade prevails. The story hilariously traces money’s absurd evolution—from pebbles to digital derivatives—revealing that our modern economy is just a more complex version of the same shared delusion… and the invisible hand is still waving.
